Operation
CAUTION
Watch out for excess pressure in the exhaust line.
There is a risk of damage to the seals, and a risk of rupture or overloading of the pump.
Ensure that there is no excess pressure at the OME exit point.
Open the inlet valves either before or at same time as starting the pump.
NOTICE
Damage to the pump due to condensate in the operating fluid!
Returned condensate generated by vapors or by temperature differences between the
oil mist eliminator and pump impairs the quality of the operating fluid and negatively im-
pacts the pump's final vacuum.
Drain operating fluid built up with condensate in a time manner.
NOTICE
Risk of the filter elements becoming blocked with resin!
When pumping gases and vapors with a tendency towards polymerization, the OME fil-
ter elements can become resinified.
Observe the corresponding safety devices such as the saturation indicator or pres-
sure relief valve.
NOTICE
Make sure that the return for the operating fluid works.
Operating fluid is only sucked in and returned from an operating pressure of < 100 hPa
and starting from a minimum quantity of operating fluid in the OME.
Long evacuation phases with a high intake pressure should always be followed by
operating phases with a lower operating pressure.
Please note that the smallest oil particles can only be separated to a limited ex-
tent.
The degree of separation of the filter elements depends upon the gas flow rate and the
distribution of particles in the gas flow.
An increased leakage of oil mist at the exhaust flange of the OME as well as a func-
tional decline in the operating fluid return serve as an indicator of the saturation level
fo the the filter element.
